Sinopsis

Deliciosa novela del Premio Nobel de Literatura, Yasunari Kawabata. Chieko es la hija de Takichiro Sada, un prestigioso diseñador de kimonos. Desde pequeña ha creído que una geisha la abandonó siendo una recién nacida, pero al cumplir veinte años, por azar, descubre la verdad: sus padres adoptivos, ansiosos por tener un bebé, la hallaron sola bajo unos cerezos… y se la llevaron. El amor que siente por ellos colma su corazón de tal modo que nunca ha tenido deseos de buscar a sus verdaderos progenitores, pero ahora la situación ha cambiado de forma inesperada, y Chieko deberá encontrar su propia identidad y su lugar en el mundo.

Con el trasfondo de la ciudad de Kioto, la antigua capital de Japón, Yasunari Kawabata describe en esta sublime y delicada novela la transmisión de la belleza y la tradición de una generación a la siguiente, y confronta las consecuencias de la posguerra japonesa con una ambivalente mezcla de fascinación y resentimiento. Una novela inolvidable de un Premio Nobel polémico, controvertido y genial.

    Kawabata, Yasunari
    The stories of Yasunari Kawabata evoke an unmistakably Japanese atmosphere in their delicacy, understatement, and lyrical description.
